If you are looking for a whale watching experience in a smaller group (there were four of us total) with an amazing captain, then this is the adventure for you! Multiple whales, sea otters, bald eagles, even some fat sea lions. Absolutely incredible experience! Lance knew right where to go and kept everyone super safe while still giving us some incredible sights and sounds. The hospitality and just pure excitement of Lance made it even better!

We strive to provide higher energy than Captain Lance.... but as of yet, we have failed to do so. He's a master at it!

Parker and Mike were terrific. Being Alaskan natives they had a LOT of great information about the surrounding areas the islands and of course the whales. We even got to see a few see otters! You were very lucky to see a lot of whales that day! I would do this tour again!
